Le Triangle Namur – Jean-Talon Phase 1 : Testing of rain gardens on Mountain Sights Streets, June 23 2016
The rain gardens are now completed on Mountain Sights Street.
The technicians of Côte-des-Neiges Notre-Dame-de-Grâce are testing the efficienty of the rain garden with a strong debit of water. The water is conducted inside the gutters and then sent in the rain gardens. A significant amount of water was poured inside the rain gardens and the results were really convincing: the plants, the ground and the gutters allow the absortion and the evacuation of the rain water really efficiently.
